well, less the point of repost and more the point of the snakes being defanged. vicious animals just don't have violent feelings or intent. they are just animals looking for food.yes, they can kill you, but they are not sadistic or bloodthirsty.

The Cobra, one of the largest venomous snakes is mostly found in Eastern Asia, particularly in India. Cobras are an easily identifiable snake do to their ability to fan their ribs along their neck out. They do this when threatened or are trying to seem intimidating. Another interesting fact that allows Cobras to be handled is that they are particular with their strikes. Unlike most snakes that will lash out semi randomly, the Cobra will wait until its target is relatively still and in range. This fun fact allows many snake charmers to appear to be charming cobras, but in reality the cobra is just unable to line up a clean bite with the players instrument, making it look like the cobra is dancing. In the case of the gif however, the snakes had been defanged, to make them easier to handle. The pop to the fanned out rib cage causes the snake to easily become disorientated, more so than a regular snake.
